I wanted to run this by to see if you’d be interested. I’m currently working on a piece with a title along the lines of “Science Has Always Been Inseparable From Politics”.
In this article, I’m laying out my argument for why I believe science and politics have always been fundamentally intertwined, I then go over precedent in ‘science activism’, and finally tie it into the current climate today.
I’d love to know if this interests you. The March for Science is in two weeks, so this is obviously a timely subject.
